The sweet potatoe crop has not proven
to be 80 large on the Eastern Shore as was
at first expected. The fact is, farmers
got such poor prices last year that they
did not plant such large crop thissea-
son. The equality, however, has beeu very
fine, and this, together with the small
crop, accounts for the good prices real
lied by the farmers this year. C6nsid-
cradle quantities of potatoes continue

An Apache IntOxicant.

From corn the Apaches make a fer
mented drink called tiz-win, which is
not as strong as the corn whisky of
civilization, but their peculiar method of
drinking it compensates for its lack of
strength. For some three days before it
has reached its highest point of fermenta-
ton. not single piece of food is swal-
lowed. At the end of that period they
fiji themselves to their utmost capacity
with the unclarifed tiz-win. Although
half starved, it takes but few moments
to make them feel as if they had Major
Generals rations for six months previous,
while the most conspicuous effect is to
swell their bump of combativeness to an
inordinate degree. If large number
have indulged in this liquor serious out
breaks and disturbances are almost sure
to ensue, especially if other bands of In
dians or any whites are near enough for
them to reach before this temporary
stimulated combativeness has worn away.
In fact, after having, when sober, de-
cided to go upon the warpath, by far the
most important preliminary is the manu-
facture of huge quantities of tiz-win. Its
peculiar composition, and the no less pc
culiar manner of taking the liquor, gives
it most lasting effect upon the system,
and an Indian with his stomach distended
with it is said to have head six or
eight dav 'spree," and dul his
time his warlike qualities al
most conspicuous
There is much evidence to show that
alcoholic liquor made from corn is an an
cient drink with these people, every
thing that was necessary TO manufacture
it being found in their old ruins and un-
der circumstances that make such con
lecture not unreasonable. Even in the
caves of the old cliff -dwellers of Arizona
there have been found cemented deposits
of corn so ancient that when disturbed
the grains fell from the cob mass OF
impalpable powder, leaving the cob,
sInguiarly enough, as fresh as if it had
been gathered the harvest before. - Gen.

Useful Hints.

A roasted or boiled lemon, filled while
hot with sugar, and eaten still hot, just
before retiring, will often break up a
cold.
To produce a good gloss on linen, pour
a pint of boiling water upon two ounces
of gum arabic, cover and let stand over
night; add a spoonful to the starch.
To remove kerosene from carpet, lay
blotters or soft brown paper over the
spot and press with warm iron. Repeat
with fresh papers till the spot is removed.
Sew on buttons over darning needle,
and, when done, pull out the needle and
the buttons will be found to be much
looser than those sewed on in the ordi-
nary way and will not pull off as easily.
1t is now claimed that rubbing the
face downward while washing is the
cause of many of the wrinkles on women's
faces to-day, and the best remedy is to re-
verse the process and always rub the face
upwatd.
Wheel grease and all other grease on
cotton goods may be taken out with cold,
soft water and any good soap; soft soap
is best. IN cases of long standing wet
the spot with kerosene oil and let it soak
for some hours, then wash as before di-
Tected.
Two ounces of soda dissolved in quart
of hot water will make a ready and use
full solution for cleaning old painted work
preparatory to repainting, This mixture,
in the above proportion, should be ap-
piled when warm, and the woodwork af-
terward washed with water to remove all
traces Of soda.

Daniel Was There.

A rich old speculator imagined that he
knew about art, whereas he was an igno-
ramus in regard to everything, in fact,
except in making money. This old fraud
determined to make valuable present to
his son-in-law, who was a preacher.
1t was suggested to him that an oil
painting representing "Daniel in the
Lions Den" would be very appropriate,
SO an order was given to painter to pro
duce the work of art. 1t was almost fin
ished when the old speculator was called
to inspect. Itrepresented 1t a cross section
of the den with Daniel walking about
among the lions. When the old man saw
the picture he refused to take it. He in
sisted that if Daniel was in the den
neither he nor the lions could be seen,
and the artist had to cover the lions and
Dan with athick coat of black paint.
When the son-in-law was presented
with the picture he was somewhat dazed
to know what it represented.

Den, r." replied the art critic.
